Chapter 7 Double Soul 3
When Master Ling arrived at the "Five Steps Village", it was already dawn, and the villagers felt strange when they saw this panting old man, looking at his outfit, he should have some background, and everyone was used to being bullied by rich people on weekdays, so they all nodded to Master Ling.
Ignoring the gaze of the villagers, Master Ling walked straight to a thatched hut at the end of the village. He had been to this road many times, but each time it was a round trip when it was dark, so the villagers had never seen it, and this was the first time he had come in broad daylight.
In the small courtyard of the hut, an old woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes was feeding the chickens in the courtyard, and Master Ling stood outside the fence and said softly: "Mother! ”
The old woman raised her head and said angrily, "Who is your mother?" How many times have I told you, don't call me that. ”
"Mother, oh, Mrs. Ling, I'm here for an urgent matter, and I can't delay." Master Ling said.
Ling Po opened the fence, entered the house with Master Ling, and closed the dilapidated wooden door.
"You're in such a hurry, what's wrong? How to bring it back. Ling Po asked.
Master Ling walked for a long time, and when he came to the house, he sat on a chair and explained yesterday's events to Ling Po in detail.
"What? You promised? "Ling Po took the case.
"Mother, do you know how widely involved it is at this time, I just dragged them first, didn't I sleep all night, did I come here to find a way?" Master Ling said.
Ling Po sat down and sighed: "Now this world is not as good as before, but my son must remember that others can do things that harm others, and our Ling family will definitely not be able to do it, and we will be punished by God" Ling Po deliberately aggravated the word "God's curse", and her hand was still touching the box brought by Master Ling.
"Mother, the child has already figured it out, I will take the family away in a few days, and then I will stay and continue to deal with them, it really can't work, then I will end the business and leave the country." Master Ling said.
"Where is the Prime Minister's Yamen so easy to deal with, as soon as your family moves, can't they guess what you have planned?" Ling Po said.
When Master Ling heard this, he said, "How can that be?" ”
"Don't worry, by the way, don't we still have a distant relative in the capital who is an official?" Ling Po said.
Master Ling said with a disdainful expression: "The one who forgot his ancestors, why are you mentioning him?" ”
"Eh, you can't say that, the matter of changing his surname is not set by him, and he can only blame his father, to put it bluntly, it is not a matter of this box that people refuse to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and now the disaster is coming, I have also heard of his reputation, he is a good official, you can write a letter to him, let him say something to the emperor, it is better than you to smuggle opium, how did your father die, have you forgotten?" Ling Po said.
Master Ling said with an embarrassed face: "We haven't been in touch for so long, do you think this Lin Zexu will recognize people?" ”
"It's one thing for him to admit it or not, this is a national matter, if he is still a descendant of the Ling family, he will definitely not sit idly by, it doesn't hurt if you try." Ling Po said.
"Now it seems that this can only be the case, mother, you have to keep this box." Master Ling said.
"Where's the jade?" Ling Po said.
Master Ling immediately took out a piece of jasper from his clothes, but did not hand it over to Ling Po.
Ling Po glanced at it and sighed: "It's all because your father didn't fight back then, causing you to suffer like this, remember, this jade is your life, don't lose it." The old man said with tears in his eyes.
"I remember, I want my mother to suffer outside all these years to save my life, and I can't sleep every day." Ling Jiqiu said this, and suddenly knelt in front of his mother.
Ling Po stepped forward to help him up and said, "What is my suffering? As long as my son's life is here, the Ling family's incense will continue, and it will make me die, and it will also be earned. ”
Master Ling knelt down again, knocking his head on the ground. For a while, the mother and son were crying silently.
………………
Ling Jianan said: "It may be that the ancestors are evil, and every generation of men in our Ling family can't escape this fate......
Ling Canaan began to recount the past.
As soon as he graduated from college, Ling Jianan gave up the opportunity to join the army and went to the sea to do business with a little capital. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he chose the electronics industry, which was not popular, but who knew that now, it has become the leader of society. Within a few years, Ling Jianan was already a young elite with a successful career, and soon fell in love with the daughter of a business tycoon, that is, Ling Xuezhi's mother, Lu Meiyao. The two fell in love and were ready to get married in less than two years.
A few days before the wedding, Ling Jianan was called home by his father.
"Canaan, do you really want to get married?" Old man Ling said, the old man has fought in the past, and now he has the rank of major general, and his speech always makes people sound like giving orders.
"Yes, Dad, I've already decided." Ling Jianan was afraid that his father would oppose it.
Old Man Ling was unusually calm, and said, "The reincarnation of the world, sure enough, is still like this." ”
"Dad, what do you mean by that? Mei Yao and I are both in love, and his family has agreed, you ......"
"Did I say I disagreed?" Old Man Ling suddenly said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Jianan knew that his father had agreed, so he said with a smile: "Aren't I worried that you will not be satisfied with Meiyao? In that case, you can call a few more uncles to support the scene on that day. ”
Old Man Ling ignored him and said, "When is it your turn to give orders?" ”
Seeing his father's face darken, Ling Jianan immediately didn't dare to speak.
"You're going to get married, then I'll tell you about it, and after listening to it, you can decide for yourself." Old Man Ling said.
"After the men of our Ling family get married, they will definitely give birth to boys, and there are only two results, one is to give birth to an only son, and the other is to give birth to a pair of twins."
"Hehe......" Although Ling Canaan was already a relatively mature man, he couldn't help but laugh after hearing his father's words. As a result, after eating the old general's two brains, he sounded obediently.
"If you give birth to an only child, then you will be happy for all eternity, just like your father and me, so everything you do from childhood to adulthood is smooth sailing, but if you give birth to twins, you will face a disaster." Old Man Ling looked at Ling Jianan and said.
"Giving birth to twins, scourge?" Ling Canaan couldn't understand anything.
The old man continued: "Your grandfather gave birth to twins that year, that is, my two elder brothers, and a few days after they were born, both of them had an extremely terrible phenomenon. ”
"What phenomenon?"
Old Man Ling frowned and said, "As long as the two of them are put together, they will bite each other, to put it bluntly, they want to eat each other." ”
When Ling Jianan heard this, he was also surprised, and said, "How is it possible, the child who was just born doesn't even have teeth, how can he bite something?" Besides, which child wants to eat people all his life? ”
"You're done listening to me!" The old man said angrily, "At that time, we were also a big family, although the two brothers had no teeth, but they were still afraid that they would have some accidents, so they were handed over to the two nurses to raise, who would have thought that the two brothers were only three months old at the time, and at night they took advantage of everyone to fall asleep, crawled into the guest hall, and continued to bite each other, even if the two baby boys couldn't bite anything, the family was still worried that they would have an accident sooner or later." ”
Ling Jianan handed his father a glass of water, who knew that Old Man Ling had to smoke, and the father and son said in a fog.
"Actually, my father knew why at that time, but he didn't want to say it, for fear that the family would be scared."
"Oh, grandpa, he knew it was going to be like this?" Ling Canaan said.
"Well, our Ling family has passed down two treasures for generations, which can ensure the prosperity of the family, but it is said to be a treasure, and now it seems that it really hurts us."
"Dad, don't just say it, take it out and take a look."
"I hid them, and I will give them to you when you get married, two treasures, the same is the 'Death Stone', the same is the 'Soul Locking Jade', and it is the 'Life Killing Stone' that harms our Ling family." The old general pouted and said: "The ancestors can't say why the Ling family will eat each other as soon as the twins come out, but there is a rule that will not change, one of the baby boys will be eaten by the other when he is three years old, according to the father, every time it comes to that time, no matter how strict the guards around, the two will get together until one is eaten by the other." He also said that the body of the boy who was eaten would appear in the 'Death Stone', and in the next 50 years, the 'Death Stone' would emit a mournful cry, and the dead boy would turn into a ghost to take revenge on the people in the family. ”
"Retaliation, how to retaliate?"
"His unjust soul will take revenge on the boy who ate him, and then all the newborn babies of the Ling family will become their food"
"I've heard from my friends about the Yin and Yang Hexagram Technique, but what you said is too suspenseful, Dad." Ling Canaan didn't quite believe it.
"It sounds unlikely, but you'll know when you see that 'Death Stone'."
"So how do you resolve it?"
"I can't fix it."
"Ah, it's not that if you give birth to twins, you will definitely die, but how did our Ling family pass it down?"
"There is really no way to resolve the mutual cannibalization between twins, and the two baby boys will definitely die in the end, but there is still a way to save the newborn later, which requires the use of 'soul locking jade', when the newborn reaches the age of three, it will definitely be haunted by the soul of the twins, what they have to do is to snatch the soul of the newborn, so that its soul does not possess the body and die, this is how my brothers died."
"Oh, what's going on?"
"The ancestors pointed out, because my Ling family has long been entangled in the 'Death Stone', unless the children are cut off, otherwise the 'Death Stone' will haunt us forever, so I gave that 'Soul Locking Jade', and the newborn was possessed by two unjust souls, and when they ate the three souls and seven souls at the same time, they put on the Soul Locking Jade, and locked the souls of the three together in the body of the newborn, so that the two souls will kill each other in one person's body, and when they fight to the point that they disappear, the three souls and seven spirits of the newborn will return to the body."
After hearing this, Ling Jianan also looked at his father suspiciously, and said, "You were like this back then? ”
"The most important thing to lock the twin souls is time, you must master it just right, early will let the three souls in the body compete with each other, so that the bloodline is chaotic, and the three will die, and the reason why I survived is because your grandfather used the most cruel way passed down from his ancestors." The old man paused at this point and asked, "Do you know what rank I am in the family?" ”
"If you say that, it should be the third?" Ling Canaan said.
"No, I'm fourth."
Ling Jianan immediately understood what that cruel way meant, and deliberately brought the "Soul Locking Jade" to the newborn early to let the three souls kill each other until they died together and gave birth to a fourth child.
"Yes, that's exactly what you think, because no one can accurately grasp the time at that time, if it's too late, there is no way to stop the twin souls, and they will repeat the cycle until the end."
"I don't believe it." Ling Jianan said decisively.
"I can't help you believe it, this is reincarnation, and then it depends on whether you give birth alone or twins, so I let you decide whether to get married or not after listening to it, but if you don't want children, it will be you and your wife who will be retaliated by the 'Death Stone'."
Ling Jianan stood up and said, "Dad, I will get married, and I will have children with Mei Yao, and I will not let our children suffer what you say, my son or daughter will not die." ”
